Unanswerable Questions - only Warriors With VERY High IQ's Should View This Post!

Quit trying to sneak-a-peek by holding your mouse over the thread title. For those who dare to venture in, you will find some of the world's most intriguing and mystifying unanswerable questions. (Well, one, at least...)

So for starters:

1. Why can't you get your hair completely dry when using a towel?

You can dry your hands, the rest of your bod, and even the dishes if you are in the mood, but no matter how much, how hard, or how long you rub your hair with the towel, it remains damp. (Now, since I'm not quite as stupid as I look, I do know that if you rub your hair for a long time it will become dry - but not because the towel dried it - it would be 'air dried' after all is said and done.)

I have more genuinely puzzling questions, so stay tuned for updates!

    Well, Jay - a nice idea. However, the question remains unanswered. Bald heads dry fast, towel or no towel. Hair..... never! Well. hair that is more than 1/2" in length that is.

    No points for you - yet!

    No problems here with towel drying...lol

    To answer your question,

    Towel drying your hair properly requires five basic things.

    1. Hair
    2. A Towel
    3. Energy
    4. Technic
    5. A Controlled Environment

    When the above items are used properly in conjunction with one
    another and at the right frequency, the drying cycle is shortened
    dramatically.

    Frequency would equate to the speed at which one rubs the towel
    through one's hair.

    Therefore, if someone was to place a towel on their head and do nothing
    else but wait then the maximum amount of time(x) would be required for
    the hair to dry.

    Although, if someone was to place the towel on their head and rub their
    hair with 1.5lbs of pressure at a rate of 300 times a minute then the
    amount of time it would take for the hair to dry would be reduced
    exponentially due to the heat generated by the friction of the towel
    being rubbed against the hair.

    To speed the drying cycle even more. We could concluded that
    if the person drying their hair were to use a warm towel with 1.5lbs of
    pressure and at a rate of 300 times a minute that the drying time would
    be decreased even further .

    Like many things in life there is a point of diminishing returns.

    Using the warm towel method to dry ones hair if the towel is too warm then
    the opposite effect could take place and the hair could begin to actually get
    wetter. This is caused when the person using the hot towel with 1.5lbs
    of pressure at a frequency of 300 times a minute begins to sweat.

    It's kinda like IM, The more effort you put into it the more you get out of it.

    Sorry I didn't have much time to explain it detail right now so I'll try to
    come back later give you more details on how to do it properly with out
    reaching the point of diminishing returns.

    Hope that Helps,
    Have a Great Day!
    Michael ...lol

    Hair is porous and absorbs water under the cuticle. I know. I have curly hair and if left to its own devices, it can take 12 or more hours to dry completely. The towel can't reach the water that is absorbed.

      Isn't it volume?

      You can dry one hair quickly and completely - when you are toweling thousands of hairs you don't reach the dampness in between strands as they stick together. Try a microfiber towel - dries quicker as a good microfiber seems to attract the moisture.

    Hair is more absorbant than skin is why you can dry your skin more completely than your hair with a towel. Kay hit on why a towel doesn't dry your hair completely. The towel doesn't come into direct contact with all the moisture unless your hair is very, very thin. The more hair you have, the more moisture is left behind.

    I'm sorry to bragged in with no answer But I have an additional questions for you fellas. And it go something like this:

    Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are flat?

    Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

    What is the speed of darkness?

    Why do people pay to go up tall buildings and then put money in binoculars to look at things on the ground?

    Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, 'I think I'll squeeze these pink dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?'

    Why do toasters always have a setting so high that could burn the toast to a horrible crisp, which no decent human being would eat?

    If corn oil is made from corn, and vegetable oil is made from vegetables, then what is baby oil made from?

    If electricity comes from electrons, does morality come from morons?

    Why do the Alphabet song and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have the same tune?

    Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

    Does pushing the elevator button more than once make it arrive faster?

    Those are my questions guys I'm waiting for your answer

      The question reminded me of this verse:

      Luke 7:44 Then He turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has washed My feet with her tears and wiped [them] with the hair of her head.

      So based on this I would agree with another that hair is absorbent and therefore the towel would not be able to remove all the moisture.

    You know... some questions are not worth the time and effort required for an answer.

    Where did we come from?
    Why are we here?
    Where are we going?

    And other extraneous crap we humans come up with.

    I'm just saying.

    It is not the hair, it is the towels ability to absorb water from the hair. The towel material works great on skin, however it is not designed for hair.

      Mark groans, here I am absolutely adoring the most complicated subject matters possible to explain them in the most simple terms imaginable and someone asks me this question.

      I thought at the very least this might have something to do with quantum quarks or something else similarly interesting.

      Drying hair with a towel, who the hec cares? The question is about as useless as a bucketful of armpits.

    It's because as you dry your hair, moisture goes from your hair to the towel!

    The towel becomes more and more wet, so the more you rub it on your hair, the wetter your making the drying hair. If you used 3 towels and used each one until it became damp then switched it for a dry one you'd have dry hair.

    How's that?
